1 | scriptural basis for church government | 1 Tim 3:1 | mimaburt | 36847 | ||
I need help!! Our government is based on elders running the church, with the people having no imput. The pastor is the head elder and he has appointed 3 more. We are a small church (100 - 135 members including children) In the past two years, our pastor has exhibited many disturbing behavior problems (anger, exaggeration to the point of lying, not visitng his congregation, spending money without knowledge of his elders (his wife is the bookkeeper, etc.) In the four years since I've been attending, he has had 5 secretaries, each one leaving because they cannot deal with the anger problem. Now, two of the elders have stood against him and the other elder, trying to get this back in 0rder. Please help me with what the scriptural basis is for church government and what the pastor's role is. Please pray for us! Thanks! |

2 | scriptural basis for church government | 1 Tim 3:1 | tuli | 37010 | ||
Government of the church is by our Head the Lord Jesus. However MEN are used by God for this purpose. Elders I believe are responsible for the Church, READ ACTS 20. And the "qualifications" are in 1 TIMOTHY 3. It is clear that there is something wrong, PRAY and ask for wisdom. |
